The Impact of Fasting Duration on Quality of Recovery After Cesarean Section
This study will evaluate the effect of fasting duration and elective c-section start time on the overall quality of recovery. Patients will be seen 24 hours after surgery to answer 11 questions on their overall recovery after surgery. Several factors will be tracked to determine their effect on recovery, with …
Sensory Anesthesia Achieved Through Different Paravertebral Block Approaches for Post-Op Pain Management After VATS Lung Resection
Video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical approach frequently used in the treatment of lung cancers. The most commonly used analgesic technique for this surgery is the paravertebral block with a single peroperative injection of local anesthetic. However, a recent study conducted at our institution revealed that …
A Portable Thoracic Impedance Device for Detecting Pulmonary Congestion in Heart Failure Patients
This study investigates a portable thoracic bioimpedance tomography (TBIT) device designed to detect early lung congestion in heart failure patients. The main goal is to evaluate how well the device's measurements match those obtained from lung ultrasound and other imaging techniques. By detecting lung fluid build-up before symptoms worsen, this …
Effect of Artificial Sweetener (AFS) on Glucose Metabolism in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
The goal of this randomized crossover study is to test the prediction that consuming carbohydrates will affect insulin release differently depending on whether Non-Nutritive Sweeteners (NNSs) are consumed simultaneously. We aim to determine whether the predicted effects are associated with oral or post-oral sweet taste receptor signaling,. Our study will …
Assessing Optimal Inhaler Strategies During Acute Exacerbations of COPD (AECOPDs) Using Oscillometry
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a persistent lung disease that makes it very difficult to breathe. The airways and the normally 'spongy' lungs themselves are affected. The main treatment is puffers, some which are long-acting (to control persistent symptoms) and some which are short-acting ('rescue' puffers when suddenly feeling …
Post-Extubation Assessment of Clinical Stability in ELBW Infants
This is an observational, proof-of-concept, feasibility study that aims to evaluate the feasibility of a monitoring system that integrates clinical data, high-resolution waveforms from the bedside monitor, regional oxygenation (via cerebral and splanchnic near-infrared spectroscopy), and regional ventilation (via electrical impedance tomography) from 20 extremely low birth weight infants at …
Telo Genomics Technology to Detect & Profile Multiple Myeloma MRD
The purpose : Detect and profile Multiple myeloma Measurable Residual Disease(MRD) prognostics for monitoring post-transplant Multiple Myeloma (MM) Patients receiving maintenance therapy.
Quantitative Ultrasound Techniques for Diagnosis of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common liver disease in Western countries, due in large part to its association with type 2 diabetes and obesity. The more advanced form of this disease is known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). If left untreated, NASH can evolve to cirrhosis, the late stage …
Sperm Oxidative Stress and Pregnancy Success During IUI and IVF
Oxidative stress (OS) is characterized by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability of the body to eliminate them. Such an imbalance can lead to lipid peroxidation, DNA damage and cell apoptosis. Studies have suggested that infertile men are more likely to have high …
Early-life MRI Biomarkers of Longer-term Respiratory Morbidity in Infants Born Extremely Preterm (EMBLEM)
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common, major complication of premature birth, associated with developmental and health consequences that continue into adulthood. Prediction of who will have these problems is challenging using traditional definitions of disease. It is believed that underdevelopment and injury occur in both lung tissue and the blood …
